SUGAR LAND, Texas (Feb. 20, 2019) - CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) today announced fourth quarter 2018 net income of $82 million, or 82 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $1.7 billion, compared to net income of $200 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.6 billion for the prior year period. The fourth quarter of 2017 benefited from a $201 million tax benefit resulting from new tax legislation. Fourth quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA was $202 million compared to $64 million for the same period a year earlier.
For full year 2018, the Company reported net income of $289 million, or $3.12 per diluted share, on net sales of $7.1 billion, compared to net income for full year 2017 of $235 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, on net sales of $6.0 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2018 was $825 million, compared to $406 million for the previous year.
“CVR Energy reported strong results for the 2018 full year, led by our petroleum segment and the improved second half results from our nitrogen fertilizer segment,” said Dave Lamp, CVR Energy’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our petroleum segment has experienced significantly increased earnings year-over-year, driven by stronger crack spreads, wide crude oil differentials, additional runs of regional shale oil, a lower Renewable Volume Obligation and lower Renewable Identification Number prices.
“CVR Partners benefited from higher netback pricing in 2018,” Lamp said. “We also are pleased to report that CVR Partners generated positive distributable cash and declared a 12 cent per unit distribution for the fourth quarter 2018.”
Petroleum
The petroleum segment, which is operated by CVR Refining and its subsidiaries and includes the Coffeyville and Wynnewood refineries, reported fourth quarter 2018 operating income of $135 million, on net sales of $1.6 billion, compared to an operating loss of $19 million, on net sales of $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Refining margin, excluding the impacts of market price and volume fluctuations on inventories, per total throughput barrel, was $17.47 in the fourth quarter 2018, compared to $7.46 during the same period in 2017. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), excluding turnaround expenses, per total throughput barrel, for the fourth quarter 2018 were $4.41, compared to $4.82 in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Fourth quarter 2018 combined total throughput was approximately 221,000 barrels per day (bpd), compared to approximately 205,000 bpd of combined total throughput for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Measures
Our management uses certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our GAAP financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the performance and liquidity measures defined below.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, management revised its internal and external use of non-GAAP measures. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is now reconciled from net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, was revised to remove adjustments for (i) first-in-first-out inventory impacts, (ii) derivative gains or losses, and (iii) business interruption insurance recoveries. Additionally, due to the revisions to Adjusted EBITDA to remove certain adjustments, we revised the definitions of our Refining Margin and Direct Operating Expense metrics in our Petroleum segment to conform. Refer to the revised definitions below for further information.
EBITDA - Consolidated net income (loss) before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense.
Petroleum EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer EBITDA - Segment net income (loss) before segment (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax expense (benefit), and (iii) depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA adjusted to exclude consolidated turnaround expense and other non-recurring items which management believes are material to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s underlying operating results.
Petroleum Adjusted EBITDA and Nitrogen Fertilizer Adjusted EBITDA - Segment EBITDA adjusted to exclude turnaround expense attributable to each segment and other non-recurring segment items which management believes are material to an investor’s understanding of the Petroleum or Nitrogen Fertilizer segments’ underlying operating results.
Adjusted net income (loss) is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be substituted for net income as a measure of our performance, but rather should be utilized as a supplemental measure of financial performance in evaluating our business. Management believes that adjusted net income (loss) provides relevant and useful information that enables external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, to better understand and evaluate our ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share represents adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income, as adjusted, that is attributable to CVR Energy stockholders.
Refining Margin - The difference between Petroleum segment net sales and cost of materials and other.
Refining Margin, excluding Inventory Valuation Impacts - Refining Margin adjusted to exclude the impact of current period market price and volume fluctuations on crude oil and refined product inventories recorded in prior periods. We record our commodity inventories on the first-in-first-out basis. As a result, significant current period fluctuations in market prices and the volumes we hold in inventory can have favorable or unfavorable impacts on our refining margins as compared to similar metrics used by other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry.
Refining Margin and Refining Margin, excluding Inventory Valuation Impacts, per Total Throughput Barrel - Refining Margin divided by the total throughput barrels during period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Direct Operating Expenses per Throughput Barrel - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum segment divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
Direct Operating Expenses per Total Throughput Barrel, excluding Turnaround Expense - Direct operating expenses for our Petroleum segment, excluding turnaround expenses reported as direct operating expense, divided by total throughput barrels for the period, which is calculated as total throughput barrels per day times the number of days in the period.
We present these measures because we believe they may help investors, analysts, lenders and ratings agencies analyze our results of operations and liquidity in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, including but not limited to our operating performance as compared to other publicly-traded companies in the refining industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods and our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and operating income. These measures should not be considered substitutes for their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section included herein for reconciliation of these amounts.
Items or Events Impacting Comparability
Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section above for discussion of the changes made during the fourth quarter of 2018 to the Company’s definition of certain non-GAAP measures.
Petroleum Segment
Starting with the fourth quarter of 2018, derivative gains or losses are now presented within Cost of Materials and Other. Prior period amounts have been conformed to the current presentation.
Coffeyville Refinery - During the first quarter of 2018, our Coffeyville, Kansas refinery (the “Coffeyville Refinery”) experienced an outage with its fluid catalytic cracking unit (“FCC”) lasting 48 days. The FCC outage had a significant negative impact on production and sales during that period.
Wynnewood Refinery - During 2017, the Wynnewood, Oklahoma (“Wynnewood Refinery”) underwent a turnaround on its hydrocracking unit in the first quarter of 2017 at a cost of $13 million and the first phase of its planned facility turnaround, with the second phase scheduled for the first quarter of 2019, at a cost of approximately $67 million, including $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we recognized a $6 million business interruption insurance recovery associated with outages at its Coffeyville, Kansas (the “Coffeyville Facility”). The recovery is recorded in the Other Income (Expense) line item. Prior year amounts, which were not material, were conformed to the current year presentation.
Coffeyville Facility - During 2018, our Coffeyville, Kansas nitrogen fertilizer facility (the “Coffeyville Facility”) had a planned, full facility turnaround lasting 15 days and incurred approximately $6 million in turnaround expense in the second quarter of 2018. During 2017, the Coffeyville Facility’s third-party air separation unit experienced a shut down. Paired with this shut down and subsequent operational challenges, the Coffeyville Facility experienced unplanned UAN downtime of 11 days during the second quarter of 2017.
East Dubuque Facility - During 2017, our East Dubuque, Illinois nitrogen fertilizer facility (the “East Dubuque Facility”) had a planned, full facility turnaround lasting 14 days and incurred approximately $3 million in turnaround expense in the third quarter of 2017. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the East Dubuque Facility experienced unplanned downtime totaling 12 days.

______________________________

(1) | Reflects ammonia utilization rates on a consolidated basis and at each of the Nitrogen Fertilizer facilities. Utilization is an important measure used by management to assess operational output at each of the facilities. Utilization is calculated as actual tons produced divided by capacity. The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment presents utilization on a two-year rolling average to take into account the impact of current turnaround cycles on any specific period. The two-year rolling average is a more useful presentation of the long-term utilization performance of our plants. Additionally, we present utilization solely on ammonia production rather than each nitrogen product as it provides a comparative baseline against industry peers and eliminates the disparity of plant configurations for upgrade of ammonia into other nitrogen products. With the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segments’ efforts being primarily focused on ammonia upgrade capabilities, this measure provides a meaningful view of how well the facilities operate. |
